Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Variable costs = $17

Fixed costs to produce = $3

Product sells = $25

Homer Industries offers = 5,000 units

Unit selling price = $19

Shipping costs = $1.50 per unit

Net profit = Unit selling price - Variable costs - Shipping costs

                = $19  - $17 - $1.50

                = $0.50

Total increase in profit = 5000 units × Net profit

                                      = 5,000 × 0.50

                                      = $2,500

Both perfectly competitive and monopolistically competitive firms charge a price equal to marginal cost   True

What is a perfect competitive firm?

Answer:

overcoming reservations

Explanation:

From the question we are informed about Pat who was talking with his customer about the new accounting system, his customer mentioned that she thought the new system was not going to fit into their budget.

which type of grant is often used by the national government to indirectly promote business development?
Archy [21]

The national government frequently uses specific types of grants to obliquely encourage corporate development. An official cash award provided by a federal, state, or municipal government body for a worthwhile enterprise is known as a government grant. It functions as a transfer payment in essence.

Technical help and other forms of financial support, such as loans, loan guarantees, and interest rate subsidies, are not included in grants. The most prevalent types include grants for small businesses, science-related grants, awards for nonprofit organisations, and grants for education.

Each person or organisation must fulfil conditions established by the government in order to be eligible to receive grant monies. Government funding for grants is authorised and appropriated.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
